Abstract:In order to develop an effective method for artificial inoculation identification of resistance to Rice black-streaked dwarf virus (RBSDV) in rice varieties, the effects of four factors, including virus latent period in vectors, inoculation time, inoculation intensity and stage of the seedlings for inoculating, were evaluated in this paper. The results revealed that the effects of artificial inoculation identification for 12-15 days’ or 21-24 days’ virus latent period in vectors treatment were better than that for 8-11 days’ or 16-17 days’, the effects for 48-72 hours’ inoculation time treatment were better than that of 12-24 hours’, the effects of the treatment inoculated by 4-20 viruliferous insects per seedling were better than by 1-3 viruliferous insects per seedling, and the effects of the treatment inoculated in 0.5-2.5 leaf age were better than in 3.5 leaf age. Thus the optimal conditions for artificial inoculation identification of resistance to RBSDV in rice varieties were 12-15 days’ virus latent period in vectors, 48-72 hours’ inoculation time, 4-20 viruliferous insects per seedling and 0.5-2.5 leaf age’s seedlings. The artificial inoculation identification showed the same results as field identification in further research, which fully proved this method can reflect the RBSDV resistance levels of rice varieties.
